| === Image galleries ===
| |
|
| |
| Image galleries should be used '''''sparingly''''', and then only in ''extreme circumstances''.
| |
|
| |
| We do not permit image galleries to depict multiple shots of a character or of events in an episode, due to [[w:fair use|fair use]] issues. Image galleries, like the ones on certain image gallery websites that will remain nameless are ''illegal'', since their use is not covered under the aforementioned fair use copyright laws of the United States.<ref>For those of you wondering why these sites are rarely gone after, it is because going after such websites costs more money than its actually worth. Still, just because no one goes after these sites, it doesn't mean that they're in the right in the eyes of copyright law.</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Where to use image galleries:
| |
|
| |
| * On ship pages, such as ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]''.
| |
| ** At ''maximum'', a "ship image" gallery would include various views of the ship (forward, stern, port, starboard, topside, and underside), as well as some interior shots of the ship (corridor, major areas, etc.) Do not include multiple pictures of the same thing.
| |
| * On pages that are too small for images to be included inline with text.
| |
|
| |
| Pages with galleries containing one picture will most likely have the gallery removed and, at worst, the picture deleted.

| ===Links to Episodes===
| |
| When referring to episode titles '''as part of a sentence''', place quotation marks around the episode name. This helps keep the title distinct from other text. This is especially useful for unwieldy episode names such as "[[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]".
| |
| :*Example: "In the episode "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", ''Galactica'' finds ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]''."
| |
|
| |
| When citing a '''single''' episode title '''as a source for a body of text''', use parentheses, but do '''not''' place quotes around the episode name. Citations go inside the sentence's punctuation.
| |
| :*Example: "''Galactica'' finds ''Pegasus'' ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]])."
| |
|
| |
| When citing '''multiple''' episode titles '''as a source for a body of text''', place all episode names ''within'' one set of parentheses. Each episode title should use commas to separate them within the parentheses. (Do not place quotes around the name of ''Miniseries'', as this is a designation and not an actual episode name.)
| |
|
| |
| :*Example: Lee Adama is moody often ([[Miniseries]], "[[33]]", "[[Water]]", "[[The Hand of God]]").
| |
|
| |
| Although ''Battlestar Wiki'' uses [[w:Quotation mark#Punctuation|American punctuation rules]] otherwise, placing commas and periods within the quotation marks, make an exception for episode titles by placing them ''outside'' the quotation marks.

| === "Red Links" ===
| |
|
| |
| A "red link" is a term for a link to an article that does not exist on the wiki, but can be created.
| |
|
| |
| There are many methods to dealing with red links:
| |
|
| |
| # Determine whether or not the link contains a misspelling. If so, correct it.
| |
| # Determine if the link needs to be piped, i.e. <code><nowiki>[[Lee]]</nowiki></code> should be <code><nowiki>[[Lee Adama|Lee]]</nowiki></code>.
| |
| # If the article does not exist in any namespace or any form, then create the article. You can either fill it out with content or simply tag it with {{tl|requested}} and save it.
| |
|
| |
| While some believe that red links out there help create articles here, the overwhelming fact that many red links on [[Special:Wantedpages|the "Wanted Pages" list]] are links to images served on our [[md:Main Page|Media repository]] necessitates the usage of creating an article and applying the {{tl|requested}} template.<ref>See the [[Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/Red Link Policy|Red Link]] think tank proposal for the origins of this addition.</ref>
